Summaries for Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorder 2b

OMIM
:57
The overlapping phenotypes of neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD) and infantile Refsum disease (IRD) represent the milder manifestations of the Zellweger syndrome spectrum (ZSS) of peroxisome biogenesis disorders. The clinical course of patients with the NALD and IRD presentation is variable and may include developmental delay, hypotonia, liver dysfunction, sensorineural hearing loss, retinal dystrophy, and visual impairment. Children with the NALD presentation may reach their teens, and those with the IRD presentation may reach adulthood (summary by Waterham and Ebberink, 2012).
For a complete phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of PBD(NALD/IRD), see 601539.
Individuals with mutations in the PEX5 gene have cells of complementation group 2 (CG2). For information on the history of PBD complementation groups, see 214100. (202370)

:
Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorder 2b, is also known as pbd2b. An important gene associated with Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorder 2b is PEX5 (Peroxisomal Biogenesis Factor 5). Affiliated tissues include liver, and related phenotypes are high palate and dolichocephaly

Peroxisome biogenesis disorder 2B: A peroxisome biogenesis disorder that includes neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD) and infantile Refsum disease (IRD), two milder manifestations of the Zellweger disease spectrum. The clinical course of patients with the NALD and IRD presentation is variable and may include developmental delay, hypotonia, liver dysfunction, sensorineural hearing loss, retinal dystrophy and vision impairment. Children with the NALD presentation may reach their teens, while patients with the IRD presentation may reach adulthood. The clinical conditions are often slowly progressive in particular with respect to loss of hearing and vision. The biochemical abnormalities include accumulation of phytanic acid, very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), di- and trihydroxycholestanoic acid and pipecolic acid.
